Ti'ana has passed to the Rainbow Bridge....

Angela, I know your pain. There are no words to comfort us when we lose someone so dear to us. So I won't even try. We lost two of our dogs within two weeks of each other last April. It broke our hea…

About Me:

Originally from Germany I came to the US in 1980 after marrying my husband. Randy served in the military for 21 years so we moved around quite a bit. But eventually we settled in beautiful Colorado. We love it here and so do our three sons.

I used to have more time for hobbies before I became an entrepreneur, but I do love to draw, curl up with a good book or movie and of course always love spending time with the family. Recently I discovered a new passion, sending out heartfelt greeting cards.

I consider myself a very compassionate and giving person. It makes me feel good when I can make a difference in somebody's life and it warms my heart if I helped brighten up their day.

I love making new friends, so please add me to yours.

Have a very blessed day!

What is one thing your dog does that reminds you to open your heart and love more deeply?

It's not just ONE thing, George is truly a gift from heaven. He was gifted to us last May after we lost our beloved Pyra and Tyson in April just two weeks apart from each other. George has given us so much unconditional love since then. He mended our broken hearts and tried our tears and for that we love him more than we could put into words.

Do you have a website or personal page (such as on Facebook or MySpace) that you'd like to share with other members of our community?

The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue.

A Dog's Purpose

This story helped me tremendously when we lost our two beloved dogs, Pyra a 16 year old Brittany, and Tyson a 7 year old Boxer, back in April of last year.

Here is the story:

Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.

I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do anyt… Continue
